“…If they extend into the orbit, they may cause displacement of the globe, proptosis, restriction of extraocular movements and nasolacrimal duct obstruction 6 . If they extend into cranial fossa they may cause meningitides, cerebrospinal fl uid leakage, pneaumatocele or brain abscess 7,8 .…”

“…Currently, osteomas are usually diagnosed accidentally based on radiographs, because they grow slowly, and are asymptomatic and painless up to a certain stage. Most osteomas are detected in long bones and girdle bones, or within cranial structures such as the skull cap, the frontal, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses, the ethmoidal labyrinth, the mastoid antrum, or bone structures of the alveolar arches, where they may cause recurrent pain or sinusitis [8, 49,56,[58][59][60]. In clinical diagnostics osteoma is also a pathology associated with Paget's disease of bone -a genetically determined, focal metabolic disorder affecting the skeleton, and characterised by enhanced resorption of bone [61], and Gardner syndrome, also known as an autosomal dominant familial colorectal polyposis, where osteomas are formed, for example, in the paranasal sinuses [62,63].…”

Background: The objective of our study was to diagnose a case of non-malignant bone tissue malformation in an adult female, located in the midline of the mandibular body, as a part of skeletal material excavated from the Early Modern cemetery in Wrocław. Methods and Findings:The macroscopically identified tumour-like hyperplastic lesion was examined using radiographic imaging techniques but also analysed for histopathological features. We identified signs of periosteal reaction and irregular growth of bone tissue which macroscopically resembled a spongy structure. The recorded image shows an irregular hyperplasia of bone lamellae, formed on the inner side of the mandibular corpus, causing secondary changes in the normal structure of the compacted bone and partly in spongy bone. Both techniques confirmed that this condition is most characteristic of a neoplastic lesion, defined as osteoma spongiosum. Conclusions:Growing tumour finally caused a massive deformation of the alveolar part of the mandible. The immediate consequence of such overgrowth of bone tissue was probably the intravital loss of incisors and change of occlusion affecting periodontal health. Therefore it could have significantly deteriorated the quality of life of the studied individual. The identified mandibular osteoma spongiosum is the first case of this type reported for the historic area of Wrocław. We believe that information on neoplastic disorders of bone in archaeological skeletal materials, when properly diagnosed and described, may be an important contribution to epidemiological studies on neoplastic diseases among ancient and contemporary human populations.

“…(5) Tumors larger than 3 cm in diameter are considered as giant tumors. (6) These osteomas are usually slow growing and asymptomatic. According to Koivunen et al, the mean rate of growth of the paranasal sinus osteomas is 1.61 mm/year.…”

Osteomas are slow growing benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses. Most of them are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally on radiographs. Sometimes they may grow to produce symptoms like cosmetic deformity, proptosis, epiphora and visual disturbances. A case of giant ethmoid osteoma with intra orbital extension in 30 year old female that was managed endoscopically is discussed. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic approach along with intra nasal drill is a safe and effective technique in management of osteoma of nose and paranasal sinus.
